rajivgonsalves Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 With a server hosting you don't have to setup mysql or php there will be installed just you have to create the user database etc.. if your using cpanel there will be a phpMyAdmin link which would help you set up your mysql easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asmith Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 so what about php.ini ? apache httpd.conf? i want to test it for few things, for example i want to see the signature : (from turorials) 2.) Edit httpd.conf to reflect "ServerSignature Off" 3.) Edit php.ini file to reflect "expose_php = off" where to find these ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajivgonsalves Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 depends what hosting package you took... did you take dedicated hosting, virtual dedicated hosting or shared hosting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 how can i find this ? btw, in some hosting packages i can't have my php.ini ?? or httpd.conf ? for example how can i set the session cache expire ? in PHP Configuration part in cpanel on the top of the real-only list of configuration it has written : These PHP configuration settings are customizable by the server administrator. They are listed for reference only. i am the only user of cpanel now , i'm not the administrator ? where's the option ? (in site stats at the left, it has said shared ip : .... , i'm using a shared hosting ? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajivgonsalves Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Then your on shared hosting... you should be able to change any setting on the server through cpanel if you have permissions to it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 what about php version rajiv? it is 4.4.3, while i have worked with 5.2.4 ? can i update it ? or makes no difference ,i leave it alone ? (anyway still cant find where to change the configuration(assuming this is "my" web host, and i'm the only user and i must have all premissions! )) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajivgonsalves Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 well anything in 4.3.3 to 5.2.4 makes a big difference there are not many functions in 4.3.3 which you might of used... now the only thing you can do is upload your scripts and keep your fingers crossed... or tell your hosting provider you want php 5... you cannot update anything on the server unless its dedicated hosting... depends on what type of hosting you took...
